The London Stock Exchange (LSE) wants to broaden the range of assets and markets covered by Proquote, the information business it bought last year with a controversial £22m (€32m) price tag.
The success â or otherwise â of extending Proquote's coverage, which provides brokers with news and information on UK stocks, will be closely watched by LSE shareholders, some of whom censured the exchange for overpaying for a lossmaking business.
